Types of Packaging Projects

Salesforce offers several methods for building and releasing apps. In the package development model, the new and improved source of truth is your version control system. You use Salesforce DX projects to organize your source into package directories. Your end goal is to create packages using those directories that are versionable, easy to maintain, update, install, and upgrade.

The type of projects you define are up to you. It all depends on whether you’re an ISV or an enterprise customer, and your business goals.
